I am so ready for her to come, you guys. Seriously.
I love reading this book because I feel so much more prepared to do mommy things like breastfeed and give her baths and help her put herself to sleep. I just...want to try out my knowledge but I can't because she's still in my belly! Haha.
I would have gotten the "What to Expect When You're Expecting" one but I'm a little past that part. The "What to Expect the First Year" seemed to make more sense at the time. But, boy, is it helpful! It has a lot of lists for what gear to get and the studies done on all different kinds of tools to help baby. I personally take comfort in the fact that it's the 3rd edition (2014) so it's all updated information! (:
A lot of the other baby books I've bought are reasonably dated (2002 or 2005) so reading them makes me a little nervous. They all basically have the same information but I know I can trust this book.
I want to start a little library for Izzy.
I want to move into a larger space to organize everything.
Don't get me wrong...I'm very, very, extremely thankful for where we live now. It would just be nice to spread things out a little more and not have to move things to make them function...like the rocker which has to be pulled out if you want to sit on it or books that have to be retrieved after the coffee table has been moved. Haha. I'm okay with it. Being in this space makes me think we need to consolidate and get rid of things we don't need but I wonder if we'll get into a bigger space and think "we need more things...".
Anyway, I have one last exam today! And then I'm home free. (=
Tomorrow, I'm guiding a school group with Pegge through the museum, Saturday I'm guarding, Monday is my last day in the office, and next Thursday and Friday I'm guarding again. So, I have a good amount of hours in at work. But after next Friday, I will have little to do before school starts again or Izzy comes. Maybe I can spend most of that time preparing for her arrival. (:
This was mostly a random text piece...but thank you if you read this far!
